Breathable fabrics for summer
On a hot summer day, you want a cycling jersey that wicks moisture quickly, breathes well and fits close to the skin. That's why the women's short sleeve cycling jersey is the go-to favorite of the season for many female cyclists. Acelera uses lightweight polyester with Lycra, a combination that stretches in four directions, moves sweat quickly to the outer layer and then dries fast. That way you stay cool, even when you're climbing or riding for hours in the sun.
All Acelera women's cycling jerseys feature an SPF 50 coating that protects you against UV radiation, ideal on sunny days. Do make sure to apply other sun protection to the unprotected parts of your body.
Fit and comfort of women's short sleeve cycling jerseys
A good women's short sleeve cycling jersey fits snugly enough not to flap around, yet breathes enough not to feel restrictive. The cut plays an important role here: a shorter front, a longer back for full coverage in the riding position and elastic side panels that move with you ensure that comfort and functionality go hand in hand. At Acelera, we call this the 'performance fit': the jersey fits tight without squeezing, thanks to the stretch of our fabrics.
The silicone gripper at the hem keeps the jersey in place, even when you lean low over the handlebars or take on a long descent. Three back pockets offer room for your snacks, phone and a lightweight extra layer, which comes in handy on rides when you're not entirely sure about the weather.
Pairing short sleeve cycling jerseys with arm warmers
The best thing about a short sleeve cycling jersey is its versatility. Add arm warmers for the cool morning and stow them as soon as the sun gets stronger. That way, one jersey keeps you comfortable from 10 degrees Celsius. Choose arm warmers when the temperature starts out between 8 and 16 degrees Celsius and you still need an extra layer of protection. Once it warms up further, you can take off the arm warmers and enjoy the sun in short sleeves.
Stylish short sleeve jerseys
At Acelera, we know one thing for sure: it's not just about performance, but also about how you look on the bike. Acelera jerseys are designed in the Netherlands with an eye for color and detail. Not a recycled, shortened version of a men's cycling jersey, but a genuine, tested women's collection with timeless designs you can wear season after season. Available in the Essential, Intermediate and Professional lines, each with its own fabric selection and fit, from comfortable for recreational rides to aerodynamically tight for racing.
